A housing advocate says building basement suites under these regulations would be bad for the environment.
Burnaby is speeding up the approval of basement suites in certain areas of the city, but a local housing advocate says the plan runs contrary to the city’s affordability and greenhouse gas targets.
The areas affected are certain zones that were left out of bylaw changes allowing basement suites in most of Burnaby’s other residential zones in 2019. “I think if people had choices, which we obviously need to create, then that affordability wouldn’t be the deciding factor around whether people live in basement suites or not,” she said, adding purpose-built rentals should be the focus throughout the city.
“ actually very harmful that the city is incentivizing these basement suites and it works directly contrary to stated goals around affordability and greenhouse gas emissions,” Gibbs said at the public hearing.
